Apartment building Magnusstrasse - External Insulation - Rock wool insulation - 280 mm

Conventional thermal insulation materials, such as mineral wool was placed overlapping on the existing stone wall. This insulating layer is covered with a 5 mm layer of plaster as finishing layer. The insulating panels can be fixed to the support by means of adhesives or by mechanical fixing. The bonding must be done with adhesive mortars and then laid on the surface to be insulated, as regular and stable as possible, taking care to perfectly match them and staggering the joints. After that, the panels must be smoothed with high vapor permeability adhesive mortars with the application of an internal reinforcement mesh to prevent the formation of cracks in the plaster and an external finish to resist bad weather and sudden changes in temperature. The façades on the courtyard side are provided with 28 cm external thermal insulation (plastered rock wool panels). The base was made with insulated fiberglass concrete elements (height approx. 20 cm)

The street facades are fully preserved in their existing condition. For reasons of monument conservation, it was not possible to install external thermal insulation. The paint and loose plaster spots in the base and the facade surface have been removed. There was a net embedding and plaster that was painted over the entire area. The transition from the facade to the underside of the roof had to be made again with decorative strips (monument conservation requirement). The partially damaged window walls have been repaired and repainted.
